Dawkins was located and volunteered to come to the Sheriff's Office to be interviewed by detectives.

Dawkins told detectives that Knowles had robbed his girlfriend of $3,000 on March 31, 2018, and had struck Dawkins with a firearm across his face.

IRCSO says Dawkins stated that on April 2, 2018, he waited at Motel 6, where he suspected he would see Knowles. Dawkins says his intention was to take money from Knowles and Dawkins brought a firearm in order to get the money.

Dawkins told detectives that he observed Knowles outside of the hotel rooms and approached him.

According to Dawkins, the two were "tussling" when the firearm went off.

Dawkins says after the shot was fired he fled with the firearm in a silver vehicle.

Jordan Dawkins is being held without bond at the Indian River County Sheriff's Office.
